Thanks Wes for pointing my typo - I meant to say PDX is not Verizon Fios territory - hence the expat reference.
I understand the local PDX CenturyLink pppoe deal (credentials one must obtain from the ISP installer). Some ISPs manage the connectivity activation through web interface similar to captive portal + user account handshake. Helios used to do that before they retreated from PDX. Now, it comes to me, it seems, that ISPs do not like to hang around PDX for some reason. Thanks, Tomas On Fri, 2020-12-11 at 16:57 -0800, wes wrote: > PDX is actually CenturyLink territory.
